When you’re ready

Do I need a source URL to download?

Local image and video downloads do not require a source URL. Conflicting or invalid URLs are left out automatically, so you can build and download right away. Your original table stays unchanged. Choose a valid source URL before creating a share link.

How do I use my own Excel data?

In Start, choose a file or paste a table, then select Make a chart. You can download a template from the same screen. Use consistent item names, periods, and numeric values; review the detected columns and any warnings before continuing.

I have a topic, but no table yet.

Use the Excel template and copyable instructions in Start with your own AI service. Check the returned numbers and sources, then upload the completed table. Built-in AI data collection is paused in this beta.

How can I keep editing later?

In Export, open Options and download a Project file. Reopen it from Start to continue editing. Cloud save requires sign-in and an explicit save. Image and video downloads are finished outputs; keep the Project file too.
